2. Edgar Haircut

If you love wearing your hair combed from your crown to the front, an Edgar haircut will be a good fit. The sleekness of straight hair is emphasized with the blunt fringe, cut with geometric precision. Style it smooth and polished or work in some texture for a more laidback feel.

3. Curtain Hairstyle

This one is for those who love medium-length styles with a longer fringe. Classical curtain hairstyles part in the middle but we suggest you go with your natural part so that you don’t have to fight your hair every morning.

4. Bowl Cut

A bowl cut seems to be made specifically for straight tresses. They naturally fall into a neat, structured shape. The even texture helps the cut look defined without too much fuss. Plus, straight hair is easier to style and maintain in this cut.

5. French Crop

This crop is a versatility superhero! From a classic taper for a refined style to a disconnected undercut for an edgy touch, a French crop can be immensely variable. Whatever you choose, make sure you sport some texture on top.

6. Classic Fade

The smooth, consistent texture is what really plays up the clean lines and gradual transition of the classic fade. The uniform growth pattern of straight hair helps keep the fade looking sharp and neat for longer. Talk about easy maintenance!

7. Short Pompadour

If your hair exhibits some natural volume and moderate thickness, go for a pompadour hairstyle. Straight hair will easily hold the shape and height of the pompadour. Choose between classic pomp for a timeless appeal or a modern variation with less height and more sass.

8. Long Fringe Hairstyle

Longer fringes beautifully complement oval, oblong, and diamond face shapes. They will balance out the length and add some width to the face. You might need a volumizing mousse or a root lift spray to give your fringe a fuller appearance.

9. High Fade

If you like it short and low-maintenance but don’t want to buzz your hair short, a short crop with a high fade might be a good alternative. It will keep your sides and back neat and will give you some length on top to play with.

10. Textured Pompadour

Major dimension, a bit of messiness, contemporary edge – that’s all about a textured pompadour. After blow-drying your hair upwards for volume, use a pinch of matte clay or styling powder to add texture. Need an extra lift for thin hair? Sprinkle a bit of sea salt spray at the roots while blow-drying.

11. Shoulder-Length Hair

The longer your hairstyle, the better it showcases the smooth and silky texture of your locks. But, as it often happens with straighter types, it might lack dimension as the tresses weigh themselves down. Scattered highlights that are a tone or two lighter than the base color will bring back depth to your mane.

12. Short Crop with a Taper Fade

A taper fade is brilliant if you want a sharp look without going all-in on a full fade. Since it only fades the nape and temple area to the skin, it’s a lot more subtle. It works for just about anyone and gives a fresh twist to the classic short crop.

13. Taper Cut

Taper cuts are universally loved for a reason – they are timeless, masculine, and easy to care for. The length of the sides and the top can be conveniently customized to your personal preferences, taking into account your hair thickness and face shape.

14. Pompadour with a Temple Fade

Nostalgic meets ultramodern in this stylish haircut. It has that classic pompadour height and volume that give the hairstyle a rockabilly flair. The faded temples and some texture on top create a pleasant edgy contrast with the overall retro aesthetic.

15. Textured Crop

Do you love the charm of naturally-looking tousled haircuts? Then a textured crop might be the right style for you. It’s a cut with a shorter back and sides and multiple layered carved on top so that they support each other in a masterfully organized chaos.

16. Flow Haircut

Go with the flow and try one of the endless variations of a flow haircut. It has that rugged and laidback charm that is hard to resist. No wonder it’s sometimes called a “bro flow!” You typically want your hair to be around 6 to 8 inches long for that natural flow. The idea is to keep it long enough to push back with ease.

17. Low Taper Fade

Want a clean look without too much skin showing? Try a low taper fade. The sides and back are gradually faded, keeping the length very short as it moves toward the neckline. This creates a clean and natural-looking fade.

18. Tapered Comb Over

Straight hair looks and behaves amazing when styled into a comb over. The smooth texture of this hair type allows your strands to lie flat and stay in place with minimal effort. A sleek and polished hairstyle is just one step away!

19. Quiff Hairstyle

Quiffs are perky and full of youthful energy. This is one of the cuts that will look awesome on both thin and thick hair. For thin hair, it creates the illusion of thickness and volume and it highlights the texture of thick hair.
